Go1 vs. LearnUpon

Go1 is a great solution for SMEs looking to implement their first LMS. The cost per person is reasonable and the content available is vast. The Account Managers do a great job at working with the business to ensure a smooth launch, with loads of additional content to drive usage (email templates, schedules, etc).

I think LearnUpon is a great LMS for an organization that focuses on internal learners, aka, employees. It's very easy to create courses, enroll learners, and mark attendance. For an association such as mine, more support would be helpful for appropriately setting up the store to reflect member and non-member accounts. In addition, it's difficult to do outside-the-box functions like transfers and refunds.

• The huge library and variety of courses that can be accessed from multiple different providers in one place.
• Our account manager from Go1 is always on hand to answer any questions we have or help with any tasks we have.
• It is also very easy to pull reports from and monitor learning across the board.
• I also love that I can pull the .skorm file for learning content from the site to reupload onto our internal site for compliance training.

Incentivized

• Integration with video conferencing platforms (primarily Zoom).
• Timing out releasing of course materials and exams so students can't get eyes on something an instructor is not ready for them to see yet.
• Customization of our store front and courses with regard to branding and graphics.

• The integration from Go1 to SF can be improved with more attention to detail that can make a big impact in the operational cost of running the integration. Many information and configuration in the target system that should be available to pre-filling or can be pre-configured to allow better automated integration that is time efficient.
• The reporting can be improved and further automated; this include in an integrated scenario.

• There are issues with users who have an account in more than one LearnUpon portal. If a user has an account in an existing LearnUpon portal, and they want to create an account in another LearnUpon portal, then they have to be invited to the new portal by an Administrator. but the user has no way of knowing that its a LearnUpon portal until they can't sign up. Its very confusing for the learner.
• An email address is required in order to set up an account. We serve many providers who don't have email addresses for all of their staff, so this is a huge issue for us.

Pretty sure we will renew

We've been a customer for six years and I don't see that changing anytime soon. We're very happy with LearnUpon.

Intuitive to upload. Record management and reporting needs some training.

Go1 has the biggest volume of content in the most varied formats. This allows us to tailor content for accessibility and neurodiversity purposes, skillsets, job roles and interests. We chose Go1 because they don't use pushy corporate sales and use a much softer sales pitch, as the product speaks for itself. This friendly tone of marketing was a major factor in choosing them over pushier, less personal brands

LearnUpon's interface and immersive experience blows the competition out of the water. LearnUpon understands the "big picture" of online learning and how to provide a system that is easy and fun to use for users at any level. LearnUpon's knowledge of their own platform, and their impeccable client support is unparalleled. LearnUpon understands our business and learning needs better than any competitor. Now that I'm using a different platform at another job, I miss LearnUpon every day!

• Allowed us to reach over 2000 employees remotely and overcome access to training barriers.
• Provided easy tracking for compliance to easily document training for regulatory compliance as well as organizational certifications.
• Changed the way the organization approached training and prepared us to take on the challenges with COVID well before we knew we would need it.

Incentivized

• We have not implemented it yet due to unforeseen issues with a different vendor, but we have launched two pilots and it has been very well received.
• The expected outcome is a lot more revenue because the catalog we have in our current LMS (Absorb) is very poorly designed and ineffective.
• Another expected outcome is that people will be excited to learn more and be better ambassadors for our company.
